An Overdose! Poem by Naga Vamshidhar Ratakonda

No Dose Atall,
A Heavenly Path;
Over Dose Afterall,
A Fast Lane to Hell;
In Limits It's a Stiff,
Tug of War Pull Shift,
To Hell and Heaven!

Think Twice Before,
You Reach Out for it,
And Get Hung High,
An Anxiety Youngster,
A Dipressed Middle Ager,
A Lonely Elderly Soul;

Lives of Many Lost,
InVain Uncontrolled;
Hopes of Near & Dear,
Loved Ones Dashed!

A Recourse of Counseling,
A Rigour of Practice,
A Relief of Addiction,
A Release of Habit Bad,
A Relax of Happy Life,
A Reason for Celebration;

Without Stigma Let's,
Come Together All,
Pour-in Tributes for All,
Those Dosed and No More,
On this Awareness Day!
